Favorite Big Dogs?

[widestrides]

Gun to your head, who's your Favorite Big Dogs this week?

Teams!

Raiders +14 at home vs Philly?
Browns +14 at Pitt?
Lions +13.5 at Green Bay?
Bills +10 at NY Jets?
Rams +10 at Jax?
Titans +9.5 at NE?

Pick 'em all one way or the other for fun.

not the rams. lol

[widestrides]

I'll hold my nose and take:

Raiders +14
Browns +14
Rams +10
Titans +9.5

Green Bay -13.5
NY Jets -10

You'd think the Titans are due for a better effort, but the fact that the Pats lost last week, and the Titan pass defense has been so bad, makes me think that the Brady to Moss and Welker connections should really shine this week. And the past 2 home games, the Pats have played well.
That's a ton of points for the Jets to cover, but Coach Ryan is really pissed and the Bills are a mess, so you'd think the Bills are in trouble here.
Cleveland and Oakland are going up against 2 of the better offenses/defenses and blowouts are very likely.
So I think the Rams and Lions probably have the best chances.

[red raider 84]

Was at titans game last week. Both corners Harper and Finnegan are banged up. Harper most likely won't play. Also, safety Griffin hurting. I agree, NE could have big day.

Browns +14
Steelers let too many teams comeback in the 4th and I see the brownies get a late TD to cover.


Whats Lion's stafford's satus if he doesn;t go and Johnson their main wideout can't I dont see them hanging the Packers. but if they both play I like the lions to cover, GB doesn't seem to play d.

[widestrides]

I think Stafford and Calvin Johnson are both out. That's why I would go with the Pack, or no play. Detroit has some Defensive injuries also.

[dragon1952]

They covered against a better defense than Green Bay last week without those two guys.

[garister]

Lions were at home last week, Johnson played and got hurt during the game and Pitt has been notorious for letting teams come back in the final qtr. That is why the lions covered.

[trytrytry]

hate detroit like the others

[widestrides]

The challenge is if you HAD to pick EVERY game, what would be your picks? C'mon, put it on the line. I wish I had some extra $ to put up some prize money.

[widestrides]

Well, I went 4-2 picking or not picking the Big Dogs.

Raiders +14 Winner SU
Bills +10 Winner SU
Rams +10 Winner ATS almost SU
Browns +14 Winner by 1 ATS
Lions +13.5 Loser
Titans +9.5 Big Loser

You can see how the Oddsmakers gotcha with the inflated point spreads against the favorites, especially noted with the Steelers one point loss ATS.
